@SuilanSpink @LegoLostAtSea @mcsuk @cathgem2000 @marinescotland @ScotIslandsFed @CCNScotland @ourseas_scot We are developing a kind of app where we could record them and place them on a map. We found one from Massachusetts, our first

[Plastic@Bay @PlasticAtBay]

Megaplastics are of industrial origin, they will make more fragments. Once microplastic, it is impossible to recover. Slowly, fragments will become smaller and smaller, and more and more toxic. Therefore there is an absolute emergency in recovering all the plastic we can, now!

[Plastic@Bay @PlasticAtBay]

To our knowledge this is inaccurate, @MarineScotland does not support the removal of pollution. At contrary, it attacks groups seeking support from the government to deal with 100s of tons of #oceanplastic washing up on the Scottish shores.

[Scot Gov Marine @ScotGovMarine]

📢 The Marine Litter Strategy has a clear purpose:
to develop current & future measures to prevent litter from entering the marine & coastal environment, and to support its removal, in order to bring ecological, economic & social benefits 🌊🚮

[Plastic@Bay @PlasticAtBay]

If we leave the plastic currently in the ocean, and the beach it will exponentially fragment. Once microplastics, us and all the organisms on Earth are condemn to eat and breathe plastic. There is 10 times more plastic in the environment than what we use per year.

@LittoralArt @artwalkporty We have taken on trying to quantify our footprint on most activities. It is really an eye opening exercise

In celebration of #worldcleanupday2022 I started on this #trawlnet. A tad optimistic, yes, but if I find 75 kayakers to help me, we might get somewhere.. #ALDFG, a too often found #marinelitter and #microplastics source.

[Plastic@Bay @PlasticAtBay]

@FinlayPringle @mcsuk @Bluemarinef @Seasaver @pawsonplastic @TTPTnortheast @CleanUpScotland @KSBScotland @NTnewspaper @NorthCoast500 Well done to you

[Bo Eide @BoEide]

Finally got around to pick up this, stored for a while. It felt good, getting this #fishingnet bundle off the shoreline. This net had a Whitby, UK buoy attached so it has possibly come a long way. #lessplasticmoreocen

[Turning the Plastic Tide @TTPTnortheast]

Industrialised fishing nations largely contribute to floating plastic pollution in the North Pacific subtropical gyre.

Two boatloads of #plastic #marinelitter picked in just one little cove, on an island west of #Tromsø, mostly cans, bottles, styrofoam and trawl floats. A new hotspot to follow up. Will we ever have #trashfreeseas ?
